Graduate Programs

Research and teaching have been the traditional goals of graduate education, but individuals are increasingly applying their training in history to archival and museum work, government and diplomacy, publishing, business, and law. Recent graduates of our M.A. program have gained admission to a variety of doctoral programs around the country and have secured employment in museums and libraries. Our doctoral graduates may be found teaching at universities and colleges throughout the United States as well as working in museums and libraries and in public and government service and business.

General inquiries regarding graduate study in history should be directed to the department's Graduate Coordinator, Dr. Timothy Scarnecchia, tscarnec@kent.edu.
